Company transfer on H1B (Change of status) but no H1B visa stamped

[prajay]

Hello,

I need help regarding my H1B visa.

(I am currently in USA.)

 

I came to US on L1 visa in 2018. Then i had Change of Status to H1B in 2021.

Due to travel restrictions, i did not get a chance to get my passport stamped with H1B visa.

So essentially i have changed my status to H1B from L1, but my passport still only has L1 stamp.

 

Now i got an offer from another company and they mentioned that i need to have H1B stamped before they could transfer my H1B visa to their company.

 

My question is, is H1B stamping required for company transfer for my case?

I talked to my friends and they say stamping is not required if i already have change of status approved.

No stamping is required. Stamping is only needed for reentering in to USA.
